Okay, here are Meredith's thoughts on her parents divorce. I'm sorry if it's a little bit crappy.
But I got this chapter up faster than I did the last one didn't I? Hope you like it. I'm thinking of adding a song to it.
A thanks to my three loyal reviewers. Thanks!
skylinechick07- thanks for your review and this time you are first! LOL Anyways… Meredith didn't actually transfer to a new school. She managed to persuade her mom, Ellis, to let her stay at RA (Redding Academy). But it would make the story more interesting if she did go to a new school huh? Wow! I just got an idea for a chapter. Thanks!
luv24+Alias- Ahhhh! My second loyal reviewer. Thanks for reviewing. I hope you find this chapter as good as the last few and the update fast enough for your taste.
Orlando-crazy- Thanks for your review. You really like my last chapter? I thought it sucked. If you say it was good then I guess it was good. But I would go with the word fine. Well, thanks.
To all three- Do you three have anything bad to say about my chapters? You guys seem to like all of them. Thanks for your encouraging words!

Chapter 15
Divorce is almost always a bad thing. It tears families apart and it usually ends up with either one or both parents bitter and angry at the other. It especially hits the families with kids the hardest. The kids are forced to side with parents, and they don't get to see either their mom or dad as much. Some times the kid is moving from house to house, every other week, month or weekend. But in some divorces, the lucky ones, they turn out fine and they just move on with their life. No one is bitter or angry, but all accept what happened and is sad about but knows that they have to move on. Those divorces are the lucky ones. However, I was not that lucky.
I can't believe he's gone. He just left; he didn't even say goodbye. Sure, I can visit him during the weekend, but it's not the same. When he left he could have taken me with him, but noooooo, I'm stuck here with her. Meredith thought.
Those were the thoughts that dominated her mind these days. All about the divorce.
A
hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw
your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I
don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that
separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
Ever since her parents, Thatcher and Ellis decided to split up officially, she locked herself in her room refusing to leave only except when it was for school.
Meredith knew that she couldn't really blame both of them. She didn't buy the BS that her parents gave her when they spilt up. She knew that one of them was solely to blame.
Her thoughts also kept wandering to the secret that her parents were keeping from her. She had no idea what it was and the curiosity was killing her.
They were discussing it, or rather having a shouting match about it, before her dad decided to up and leave. She wondered what could be so terrible that would cause them to be teared apart and left her alone.
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I
think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And
tonight it's only you and me
She couldn't ask them because they obviously wouldn't tell her. And she remembered that her dad said that he wouldn't tell her. It was killing her inside that they had a secret so bad that it would drove them to get a divorce.
They aren't even thinking about me, Meredith thought gloomily, they're only thinking about themselves and how it affects them.
The
miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say
hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets
better as we go
At school, all her friends found out that her parents had split up. Everyone was trying to cheer her up, especially her friends, but it didn't work. Even Derek had tried to comfort her. It didn't go too well. Even with all the people around her, she never felt more cold and alone.
She was kind of mad at her mom. It's because she was part of the reason that they weren't a family any more. Ellis stayed at the hospital so much, Thatcher and Meredith hardly ever saw her.
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I
think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And
tonight girl its only you and me
Now, I'll hardly ever see both of them. Meredith thought. Yay! I get to be all alone.
She really missed Thatcher, her dad. She couldn't every stay mad at him for long.
They had a really strong father and daughter bond. They were probably closer than most father and daughters.
Everything
I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my
love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
At least, even when Thatcher was really busy with his classes, he would still make time for Meredith. Some times he would stay up very late at night grading papers, because he made time to spend with Meredith.
Unlike Thatcher, Ellis almost never spent time with Meredith now-a-days. She was always busy with her work and nothing but (or at least it seemed). Now Meredith had to live with her mom, but she hardly ever saw her anyways. She wanted to live with her dad, but Ellis wouldn't give up custody to Thatcher.
I really miss you dad. I'll always think about you. Meredith silently promised.
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I
think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And
tonight girl its only you and me
Yep, divorce is really tough on us kids. When going through the divorce though, the parents never notice how much their child or children are suffering. It is only after the damage has been done, does the parents notice change in their kids. In the end, it comes to just this one thing, divorce sucks.

Can you guess which song I used? If you guessed Here Without You by 3 doors down, you're correct! I guess the song doesn't really go with the chapter because well first of all the gender differences and that well, it's different but it kind of describes what Meredith is going through. At least I think so.
Tell me what you think about the song and the chapter. I know a lot of you like my story, so why don't you tell me why you like it and that you do like it. Just review. I don't want to have to treat you that I won't update until I get 5 or whatever number reviews so I will update. I wanna see some new usernames review me!
I hope you liked this new chapter. I told you I was going to write about Meredith's thoughts on the divorce and here they are! I kind of have an idea for the next chapter I think it'll be good, so don't go away just yet. Wait for my new chapter!
Do you think I should put an end to this story and make a sequel? Tell me what you think about that. And I'll get back to you.
Later!
